Why Choose This Course
PRINCE2 Project Management Foundation is an instructor-led course for professionals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, and Perth who want a clear, practical understanding of the PRINCE2 method. The Foundation level introduces the core language, principles, practices, and processes of PRINCE2 (Version 7), including the people element, sustainability within project performance, and digital/data considerations. You will learn how PRINCE2 structures a project from initiation to closure, how roles and responsibilities are defined, and how the method can be tailored for different organisational contexts.
The course is relevant across Australian industries such as IT, construction, healthcare, financial services, and the public sector where structured project management is essential. It focuses on how PRINCE2 helps teams collaborate using a common vocabulary, manage risk and change, and maintain transparency with stakeholders. Practical examples and exam‑aligned content help you connect the framework to everyday project situations, so you can contribute effectively to project planning, governance, and delivery.
By the end of the training you will understand how the seven principles, seven practices, and seven processes work together, and how to tailor the method for agile or hybrid environments. The Foundation certification is the gateway to Practitioner level and provides a recognised credential to support your career progression in project management. A certificate of course attendance is included.
